To follow up on the Chair's remarks on uninsured drivers, the committee has had engagement on this matter and the Road Traffic and Roads Bill will deal with certain scenarios. There was talk of the British legislation and the idea that a car as opposed to a person is uninsured. That would place a greater onus on us to ensure this does not happen. However, one of the big problems is the cost of insurance. That needs to be rectified but the matter is not in the Minister of State's remit.
